Marple: 12 New Mysteries - Assorted Authors

Mystery Collection

Rating: 7/10

Agatha Christie’s legendary and beloved sleuth, Jane Marple, returns with a vengeance to solve twelve new mysteries penned by a host of acclaimed authors skilled in the art of the crime novel.

The authors gathered for this special collection perfectly execute the hallmarks of a classic Christie mystery, which let’s be honest, form the very tenets of the genre. Capturing every bit of the essence that is Marple, sharp wit, droll ingenuity, deceptively demure countenance, and unique mannerisms. Delivering the denouement with all the flair we know and love.

But make no mistake, each adds their own signature storytelling style.

If you are a Christie fan you will feel the comfort of nostalgia, being pulled backed to simpler times when a proper women of a certain age solved the puzzles no one else could seem to.
